Watercolor Workout
with Stephanie McQuade
Next Sessions starts at 1:00PM on slated January 20, 2026!
Watercolor Workout is a fun, supportive 5-week practice class designed specifically for painters who’ve completed a beginner watercolor course (or done lots of online tutorials) but aren’t quite ready to jump into intermediate level work. Each week features a brand-new painting—drawn and ready for you on high-quality watercolor paper—so you can dive straight into painting without the stress of sketching or planning.
This “workout” focuses on building confidence and strengthening skills through guided exercises, live demonstrations, and plenty of painting time with real-time feedback from the instructor. Whether you want to keep the momentum going or finally have someone right there to answer questions as you paint, this class bridges the gap perfectly.
Sessions run Tuesday at 1:00 pm starting January 20—come get your watercolor muscles in shape!
Maximum Class Size: 10
5-week course, 2 hours each session
Time: 1 pm - 3 pm
Cost: $200
Location: Lakes Region Art Gallery in the Tanger Outlets, 120 Laconia Rd, Suite #300, Tilton, NH
